About This Book

The volume offers a compact chronological account of Italy's geography and early inhabitants, the legendary monarchy and its institutions, the transition to a republic, and the subsequent development of Roman political, legal, and military systems. It treats internal conflicts between social orders, major wars and diplomatic encounters, constitutional reforms and codifications, and urban and administrative growth, while supplying maps, illustrations, and chapterized material suited to classroom use. Emphasis falls on institutional origins, civic structures, and the sequence of events that prepared the polity for later imperial consolidation.

NOTICE.

The present History has been drawn up chiefly for the lower forms in schools, at the request of several teachers, and is intended to range with the author's Smaller History of Greece. It will be followed by a similar History of England. The author is indebted in this work to several of the more important articles upon Roman history in the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography.

The Table of Contents presents a full analysis of the work, and has been so arranged that the teacher can frame from it questions for the examination of his class, the answers to which will be found in the corresponding pages of the volume.

The restoration of the Forum has been designed by Mr. P.W. Justyne.
